- Stairs
- Luxury vinyl plank
- Flush tread
A vinyl-wrapped waterproof rigid-core flush stair nose that caps the leading edge of LVP treads, sitting level with the plank tops for a seamless look while its rounded bullnose is code-friendly and safer than a square edge. The flush design needs the tread butted right against it, only fits stairs, and adds up at ~$45 a stick.
Pros
- Flush profile sits level with the plank tops for a sleek step-to-step look with no lip
- Rounded bullnose over the tread edge is code-friendly and safer underfoot than a square edge
- Waterproof core matches LVP treads so stairs read as one continuous floor
Cons
- Flush type requires the tread plank butted right up to it, so it is fussier to install than an overlap nose
- Only fits stairs; it has no use as a floor-to-floor transition
- At ~$45 a stick, a full staircase adds up fast versus a plain floor transition
